Support SystemIn wrapping up a series of blog posts launching you into the new year, I wanted to mention the

Final Piece In Your New Year 2012 Plan.

As with all our dreams in life we need not keep them to ourselves. What that final piece to make things happen, is your

        Support System

In business it may be accountability partners you review things with regularly or use as a sounding board. It may also be fellow professionals across social media or a blogging network. In your personal lives it is the close in people, maybe five max who emotionally support you and are in your corner and positive. Don't forget your pets too.

True a support network is key.  Be careful of the number of people you share with.  I have just two (not including my dog)

Gary, I'm with you and rely on a few because that is what I need, very few true supporters.

Gary,

Your last paragraph is so insightful! I've been truly blessed with a great spouse and such people and pets.

May we all enjoy such blessings even more in 2012.

Ha, I too think my dog "Mac," is one of my best support pieces - he makes me happy and gets me out the door and into nature for healthy activities and mind clearing. ( Naturally my husband is #1 - but there are those days...) :)

That is why I decided to change companies when I did. The support system had gone from great to sub-standard. I left shortly there after...

My pets are always so happy when I come home and that makes me smile.  They are a great support system, in addition to the close people in my life.
